DEAR Sic Our last circular was dated
Nov sth, per Australia.
SUG4R:-The prices of the two local re-
hneries remain unchanged, and the price
lists for the principal grades are as follows
American Rehnery-Cube, 7l4c; d. Gran,
&c; Ell. G., 63<c; Golden O., 6iSc.
California Refnery-Cube, 7lSo; d. Gran,
6s[c; Ex. c., 65Sc; Golden c., SIC.
Ga the 9th ult., the Cuba basis advanced
TO Sc, for Sc test. under sale in New York OF
Cubs Centrifusals IS test at 55sc. This
basis continued until the 18th ult-. when II
declined to l5-l6c., and again to 5}sc., on
the sd ult., for 96' test. since then there
has been no further change.
EAsrERS AND FOREIGN MARKETs:-Prices of
Raws II New York continued strong until the
18th ult. when a slight decline took place,
and since that time the demand has been
light and transactions small. The trlhlng
sales reported are without significance and
hardly guide for quotations.
Price of refined in New York also declined,
ana Granulated was quoted at CSC, on the
18th ult.. and 655c-, on the Goth ult. Since
the 18th however the prices have advanced
again, and Granulated Is quoted at 65sc.
Foreign Sugar Markets have continued
strong and excited. and London Beets have
advanced from is. on Nov. Sth, to los. Sd.
on Dec 9Th.
Mail adyicss from New York of 30th ult.,
state that there mas been no disposition on
the part OF Retuers 10 replenish their stocks
BY purchases either on the spot TO arrive, or
for shipment, thus afording no definite basis
on which sales could be made, and indica-
ting the independent position they are in as
far as their stocks OF Raw material are con-
cerned.
In addition to their supplies in bond their
direct lmportations have been liberal, and
the daily MEETINGS materially reduced in con-
sequence of the moderate output for Refined,
modification. and supplies, both on the spot
and TO arrive have been firmly held. The
buoyaut tone Of the London Market, and the
steadily advancing prices of Beet have due
effect upon holders of Raws in this country,
and consequently they are not DESTROYS OF
selling at q reduction IN price.
December is generally a dull months in the
Sugar trade.
The market is more or less under the in
huence of the Louisiana Crop, which is being
rapidly marketed The influx of this supply
throughout the West and South West, neces-
ssrily curtails the demand for Eastern re-
fined. Last year the whole production OF the
Southern States amounted to only s., $50 tons,
which was considerably less than an average
crop. This year the yield will probably prove
the largest since the war and will reach I50,-
600 tons. With prospect of dull season
Rehners are not disposed to increase their
supplies of Raw material and under these
circumstances very likely during the next
few weeks prices may show an easier ten
dency.
For the week ending December Ist. total
stock n New York decreased 634 tons, and is
now 40,75S tons under last year.
LONDON, DEC. 1st-Receipts at the four
Ports Z. h. for the week ending Nov. 10Th.
were 22,j00 tons. Deliveries 24O0O tons.
Stocks decreased 1,500 tons. Stock 1866
tons against 1864 tons last year.

has reduced his estimates for France BY
$1,000 tons TO 1900 tons, making present
estimate 2250O0 to $4,000 tons less total crop
than last year.
